Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALp.1 I
NASHVILLE, Tenn, October 9.-The
leading Methodist Episcopal Church

sensation to-day. The pastor, Rev.
W., A. Gambler, delivered a very
severe and bitter sermon on the sub
ject of theatres. Miss Emma Abbott,
who occupied seat in the rear Of the
church, rose and entered protest in =
short speech against the general char
acter Of the preachers denunciation
Her appearance showed much sup
pressed indignation but her words
were very clear and distinct. The
matter has created a great sensation

sation this evening. Many of the
parishioners and others, commend the
action of Miss Abbott.
MISS ABBOTT's REMARKS.
Miss Abbott declared that the min
ister's charges were unfounded and
that her life was as free from blame
as that of any living woman. In all
the operas of the past week, to which
the minister referred, there was no
impure nor improper thought. The
great lights of the stage, such as Jenny
Lind, Modjeska, Albani and countless
others had been good women. model
wives and mothers. She defied any
one to say that aught had ever been
whispered against the fair fame Of
Emma Abbott.
FAvoRABLY RECEIVED.
There was considerable applause at
the conclusion of her remarks. Before
it subsidized Gambler said that he could
not answer the lady because she was
a lady. During the day, as the affair
became known, a great many ladies
who had met Miss Abbott socially
called on her and commended her
spirited defense Of herself and her
profession.

THE CARDINALS CHAMPIONSHIP.
His Eminence intimated to you
committee his intended journey tc
Rome, promised to explain the pur.
poses of the organization at the Vati.
can. and requested permission to
pledge the order to the maintenance
of lawfnl and orderly behavior. How
the prince of the church fulfilled his
covenant made with us, and how he
championed our cause in the Eternal
city, we know full well, and the ex-
pressions of pontificial good will for the
order OF the Knights of Labor, which
came to us last March, were due solely
to the earnest and intelligent advocacy
of our cause by Cardinal Gibbons"
DEBT OF GRATITUDE.
Mr.. Powderly suggests that sincere
thanks are due to the Cordinal for the
extraordinary favor he has bestowed
upon the order Mr.. Powderly quotes
largely from Cardinal Gibbons report
to the Propaganda, in the course OF
which the Cardinal says: "The
order is not hostile to relig-
ion. We have not found in its
constitution and bylaws and official
declarations anything which the Holy
See indicates as condeinnatory, and
the formulas of the organization con-
tain neither oath nor obligation
which prevents those who dc
not belong to it, from be-
coming acquainted with its affairs.
This has been especially explained
to us by the principal officers. No
promise of blind obedience is required.
Their rules are not hostile to religion
or church, but very contrary. 1t seems
to me quite lain that the Holy See
cannot entertain the proposal to con-
denim the Knights of Labor.
REASONS FOR NoN-PRoCLAMATION.
The Cardinal then proceeds to give
many points why it should not be
done. Among other things he said it
would be dangerous to the reputation
of the church in our democratic coun-
try; that it would be powerless to
compel the obedience of the Cathol ic
workingmen, who would regard it as
false and iniquitous; that it would
thus be destructive instead of bene-
fetal in it's effect, and that it would
turn into doubt and hostility the
marked devot ion of our people toward
the Holy See.
FUTURE POLICY.
Mr.. Powderly says further: "The
Knights of Labor remain untouched
and it will be our particular duty to
prevent the order from committing
anything against the civil and ecclesi-
astical laws which might be condemned
by the church or State. The Pope
wisely determined not to provoke an
antagonism between the church and
the Knightly industrial power that is
now making itself felt throughout this
free land and Leo XIII has shown
that he is neither rash nor illiberal.
Powderly then quotes at length let
ters from Cardinals Manning and Glib
bons giving their views. in relation tc
the. Order.

IT is said in England that the
Prince OF Wales has often expressed
the opinion that the days Of the mon.
archy were numbered. One of his
cronies has been heard to say that
the Prince has said, in his presence,
that he never expected to be King of
England, and that it would be doubt
full if his mother would be Queen dur
ing all the remaining years of her life.
While some of those statements are
without doubt little far fetched,
there is no question but that the
Prince is making himself as popular
as he can with all parties in prepar-
alton for the coming fall. He is not
the careless pleasure seeker he is rep
resented. His late years have been
full of business of that peculiar na-
ture which tends to make him well
known to the people of the country.
He is making the best of the present,
and is showing himself to be a far see
ing, shreWd man.

MINNEAPoLIs, Mimi, June 18.-The
report that the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul Company is interested in the
purchase of the Hotel St. Louis,
at Minnetonka, is confirmed. A
road officials, consisting of
Messrs. Cakes, Oden, Postlethwaite,
| Ames and others, have purchased the St.
Louis hotel, and have arranged with the
| Milwaukee & St. Paul Railroad Compa-
| ny to build a branch from Hopkins Sta
ton to the hotel, a distance of nine miles.
| The st. Paul Company is to have third
interest in the hotel property, which,
although it sold for only 100000, is
worth $3.50, 900. Mr.. Gibson, the former
owner, is connected with the Northern
Pacific people in their hotel enterprises
in the Yellowstone Park, and the
| scheme is to run the Hotel ST. Lo uis in
| connection with the former, and to make
the Milwaukee & st. Paul feeder for
southern travel to the Northern Pacific
Railroad and the Yellowstone Park. The
| Milwaukee & St. Paul now runs to Kan
sas City. There is Kansas City colony
| having summer residences near the ho-
| tel, and it is expected that with the ia
| cilities of direct communication afforded
bv the Milwaukee & St. Paul it will be a
| favorite summer resort of Kansas City
and St. Louis people, and that many of
| them will find their way over the North
ern Pacific to Yellowstone Park. 1t is
evidently designed to make the Hotel
| st. Louis rival of the Hotel Lafayette,
and the Milwaukee & st. Paul compet-
itor for the summer travel of the lake as
against the Manitoba. 1t is claimed that
the Milwaukee & st. Paul will bring St.
Paul and Minneapolis seven miles
nearer the Hotel St. Louis than the Ho-
tel Lafayette by the Manitoba line. The
Hotel ST. Louis is to be speedily burn
ished up by its new proprietors, and
made ready for the summer travel.

PITTsBURG, Pa. June 18.-The first train
of the Allegheny Mountains, with crude
petroleum as the only fuel in its locomo-
tive tender and fire box, was the
mail train west on the Pennsylvania
Railroad, that arrived in this city last
night. 1t came through from Altoona
on time and it came without stick of
timber or scuttle Of coal to make steam
for its motor. There was entire uniform
ity Of heat in the fre-box, without any
stocking to make it. The pipes from the
200 gallons of crude oil in the tanks did
the business. The experiment was
complete success. Splendid time was
made and there was no annoyance
from smoke or cinders.

CAPTURED THE TRAIN.
A Band of Armed Texans Raid and Rob
a Pacific Express.


GALVESTON, Tex, June 1S.-A report
has just reached here that the East
bound California express on the South
ern Pacific Railroad was robbed at 3
o'clock this morning by band of rob
bers near the town of FIatonia, in Fay
cite County, about ninty-five miles east
of San Antonio and 120 miles west of
Houston. The express car was robbed.
Nobody was killed. It is rumored that
the robbers secured SIS, 900.
Houston, Tex, June 19.-One Of the
most daring train robberies that has ever
occurred In Texas was perpetrated at 30
o'clock this morning, short distance
this side of Schulenberg, on the South
ern Pacific Railway. AS the train drew
up at the station, two men with drawn
revolvers mounted the engine, covered
the engineer and forced him to pull the
train to the open prairie, a few hundred
yards to the eastward, where fire was
burning and around which stood eight
or ten men, all armed with Winchester
rifles. The two robbers on the engine
stood guard over the man at the throttle,
while the others went through the mail.
express and passenger cars. Nearly all
the passengers were asleep and unaware
of what was going on until they were
aroused by the robbers.
The first man tackled by them was w.
Newburgh, of New York, whom they
struck on the head with revolver and
secured from him $75 in cash, several
diamonds and gold watch valued at
about 81 900. Lou Mayer, of Cincinnati,
was relieved of $35. r. L. Armstead, of
New York, gave up $40. He had large
amount Of money with him which was
hid in the sleeping car. A gentleman
from Mexico, whose name could not be
ascertained, lost $500. All the paSsen-
gers were relieved of what immediate
valuables they possessed, and it is diff
cult to form any estimate of the amount
of money and jewelry secured. The
amount, however, is reckoned at about
$1,000. Wells, Fargo & Co.'s express
car was also gone through, but the
amount of money taken is not yet
known. No mail route agent was on the
train, but the through mail pouches in
the express car were all cut open and
their contents appropriated. The total
amount secured by the robbers is placed
at IS, 900 or $4,000, but when careful
revision of the latter is made the fig
ures may be changed.
There is no doubt that considerable
"boodle" was secured. The whole
country is aroused and in arms. Several
posses have gone in search of the rob-
hers

COrCoran ParalyZed,

A dispatch of the 9Th from Washing

millionaire philanthropist, was suddenly
stricken with paralysis in the left arm
and left leg this afternoon. While din
ing with his family, he suddenly ex-
claimed, "What hit me on the head p"
at the same time placing his hand on
the spot where he said it felt as if he
had received blow. A moment later
he felt for his fork with his left hand
and could not find it, nor did he know
when it was put into his hand. His
mind was perfectly clear and he insisted
that there was nothing the matter with
him except feeling ofnumbness in the
left arm. A few minutes later he arose
and attempted to 60 to the next room
when he found that his leg was also af-
fected and that he had lost control over
it,
